It's called faith and it's not easy for many to understand.

BTDT.


Faith is a belief despite very poor, or a total lack of evidence.
Once someone resorts to the faith card they are admitting there is not reasonable evidence for their position.


Absolutely the opposite. True Christian faith is based on overwhelming evidence; it is a full persuasion of the mind and heart based upon examining credible evidence. John Locke explains this in "The Reasonableness of Christianity"

Can anybody point me to a Hindu who was a wise as John Locke? Ghandi was no John Locke...
John Locke is the brains and thinking behind the American Revolution; he is the inspiration, some word for word, for the Declaration of Independence. There was no greater political science writer, understanding of course he was building on those gone before.
